Camille Paglia is doing a long, three-part interview with Salon to celebrate the triumphantly annoying return of the ‘90s in the form of Bill Cosby, Bush vs. Clinton, political correctness, and, of course, Camille Paglia. The first part of that interview is up now, and wonderful, because no one can nail the…

The dissident feminist has made no secret of her love for The Real Housewives, but now Camille Paglia has written an entire essay explaining the appeal of the franchise, how it's revived and redefined the soap genre, and why it appeals to appreciators of "grand opera."

It's not for us to fret over the various pronouncements proto-troll Camille Paglia heaves at the general public — they're all meant to be incendiary, like tiny word grenades full of phrases or sentiments meant to ruffle liberal feathers. She has all the academic credentials that your favorite liberal arts professor…

Camille Paglia has been trolling since before trolling was A Thing. She's the OG of barfing up archaic assertions about women, men, and feminism, justifying them with sweeping, unverified statements, and dressing them up with $2 words, and calling it new. Her latest, "It's A Man's World, And It Always Will Be" is so…

We already know that Camilla Paglia jumped the shark awhile back—perhaps an entire school of sharks, while wearing a neon-pink ski hat and scream-singing Ace of Base's "I Saw The Sign." This might account for the rant before this one, which concerned how best-selling, powerful female artists Katy Perry and Taylor…

Camille Paglia has claimed that she has the right to call a woman who was date raped a "stupid idiot," and she gushes about Sarah Palin like she's an Ayn Rand heroine ("So she doesn't speak the King's English - big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes"). In short, Camille Paglia is as crazy…

"[Pelosi] conclusively demonstrated that a woman can be just as gritty, ruthless and arm-twisting in pursuing her agenda as anyone [...]. Even a basic feminist shibboleth like abortion rights became just another card [...] to deal and swap. "[Salon]

The Guardian's Sunday magazine, the Observer, devoted almost every article this past weekend to the state of feminism in Britain, and the picture they paint is pretty bleak. The lead essay, by 39-year-old Rachel Cooke, claims that the gains made by earlier feminists are quickly losing ground. "Are we going backwards?…

I happened to catch a documentary about Yoko Ono on TV today. She was interviewed for it, as were a number of others, but unlike most of the artist bios that air on Ovation, this one wasn't exactly full of praise. The usual "Yoko broke up the Beatles" crap was brought up, but it was Camille Paglia who was the main…

Camille Paglia's enormous girl crush on Sarah Palin only intensifies with every gaffe and blunder. In her new Salon column, Paglia covers a lot of the same ground found in her other Palin-loving salvos: mean old liberals despise Sarah because they're big city latte drinking jerks who hate America. "So she doesn't…

Even though initially, primal emotions like anger and fear can overwhelm your rational thoughts, with time the passion fueling those unwieldy feelings can eventually boil down into an angular piece of insight. And so it went with Camille Paglia's typically insulting piece heralding Sarah Palin's patriotic feminism in …

Some days were made for mocking, and between Camille Paglia's assertions that she's in touch with the "real" America and that Sarah Palin is the new Madonna, former Massachusetts governor Jane Swift's assertions that Barack Obama is a pig, North Korea's assertions that Kim Jong Il is totally fine and sending birthday…

Madonna is not necessarily a favorite of famous feminists. Both Camille Paglia and Germaine Greer have weighed in on the singer's half-century mark this week: Paglia rags on the Material Girl for her looks ("hard-bitten face lolling its tongue like a dissolute old streetwalker") and Greer for her clothes and her…

Since the dynamics within straight relationships have shifted relatively recently, we're kinda confused about how we're supposed to behave, particularly when it comes to gender roles. After we posted about this week's episode of Mad Men - in which Don Draper has a sexually charged dominance scene with one woman - and…
